Hello everyone, I'm studying the minix on my own and I'm happy for the existence of this group :).
Anyone interested in developing an operating system based on minix and amoeba for multiplatforms?
There would be several advantages as you well know, let's face this challenge?

Hi,

Not that I want to discourage you, but I don't think you fully realize how much work that would require.

Besides, Amoeba development has been abandoned in the late 90s. Computers are so powerful nowadays that the need for a dedicated, distributed operating system has mostly vanished (you can get an AMD EPYC 32-core server for less than 10k€), obsoleted by Beowulf clusters and networked applications.
